Talking Dirty - Mud Run Lingo and CustomInk

Kovas and I had our first mud run experience last month at Warrior Dash - so much fun!! Soon we'll be trying another - Hero Rush - similar, but "more than just a mud run."  We talked about coordinating our outfits...but somehow didn't...Maybe next time we'll try CustomInk, which allows you to design custom T-shirts, or "mud duds" online.

CustomInk has also created a Mud Run Lingo Glossary.  Here are some of my favorites:

Birthday Suitors [burth-dey-soo-ters] · Noun
Those men who choose to complete mud races in various stages of undress, or in Speedos.

Lemming [lem-ing] · Verb
